He Who Trusts In The Lord
(Psalm 32)

(Verse 1)
These are periled times we live in, trouble everywhere
Weary hearts will often give in to this world’s despair
But high and over all, our Father knows our every care
And in His Book, if you will look, you’ll find His promise there
(Chorus)
He who trusts in the Lord
Mercy shall surround him
He who trusts in the Lord
Mercy shall surround him
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice
You upright in heart, lift up your voice
For great is His mercy toward, all who trust in the Lord
(Verse 2)
Soon will be the time when we will see the Holy One
Oh how sweet to know that He’ll complete what He’s begun
And blessed is the man who stands forgiven in God’s son
And blessed are they who in that day will hear Him say, “Well done”
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Gracious is He and slow to anger
His loving kindness has no end
With love to embrace both friend and stranger
He’s reaching out to one and all, who upon His name will call
(Chorus)
He who trusts in the Lord (she who trusts in the Lord)
Mercy shall surround him (mercy shall surround her)
He who trusts in the Lord (she who trusts in the Lord)
Mercy shall surround him (mercy shall surround her)
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice (Be glad in the Lord and rejoice)
You upright in heart, lift up your voice
For great is His mercy toward, all who trust in the Lord
Mercy is His reward
For all who trust, for the pure and just
Who put their trust in the Lord
For all who trust for the pure and just who put their trust in the Lord
This Poor Man Cries
(Psalm 34)
Words & Music by Marty Goetz
© 1984 Singin’ In the Reign Music ASCAP
(Verse 1)
The Lord On High is very near
To all who call on Him
This poor man cries and He hears
And delivers him from all his fears
(Verse 2)
For the Lord is nigh to them that fear Him
The contrite will have light never dim
The righteous cry and He hears
And delivers them from all their fears
(Chorus)
“Gad-lu l’Adonai ee’ti,
oon’ ram’ma sh’mo yach-dau”
I will bless Him all my days
His praise shall continually be in my mouth
(Verse 3)
To the King I sing with pride
And the humble hear
And the sad, are glad in Him
His angels fly ‘round those near
If you ever listen close you might hear
You just might hear
(Chorus)
(Verse 4)
He brings good things so I know
He’s always here
Never denied I’m supplied by Him
For He has his eyes on those He holds dear
And He delivers them from every fear, from every fear
This Poor Man Cries, and He hears
And delivers him from all his fears, from all his fears.

(Verse 1)
Whom shall I fear, The Lord is my light
Under his wings, I find my comfort all through the night
(Verse 2)
I wait for you, when darkness surrounds
You are my strength, I’ll always sing of your love come down
(Pre-Chorus)
If God is for us, whom then will we have to fear
If God is for us, then nothing can stand against us
(Chorus)
No angels, nor demons
Not present past or future
No height or depth,
Yes I’m convinced
No powers, no rulers
And nothing in creation
Can separate us from his love
(Verse 3)
So I will not fear, the battle is won
In all these things, you’ve conquered death by your risen son
(Pre-Chorus & Chorus)
(Bridge)
For I’m convinced, yes I’m convinced
That we are more than conquerors,
we are more than conquerors
For I’m convinced, yes I’m convinced
That we are more than conquerors,
we are more than conquerors
(Pre-Chorus & Chorus)

Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear…

Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
The one who was, the one who is
The one who is to come
(Verse 2)
Holy, holy, holy
You alone are worthy
The one who loves, the one who gives
His one beloved Son

Yeshua, you’re Lord of all our days
Yeshua, we yield to you our ways
Oh Yeshua, on you we fix our gaze
We surrender to you, Yeshua
(Verse 3)
Singing Hallelujah
Offering our praises
Entering your throne room
Sitting at your feet
(Verse 4)
There’s no one before you
No one who compares to
The one who loves, the one who gives
The one who’s in our hearts
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
When we are lost, and when we are weak
Yours is the only face we seek
Hard to remember when we didn’t know your name
We know now, So we bow
(Verse 5)
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
Hear the song of heaven
Sung around your throne
(Verse 6)
There they are before you
All who have adored you
The ones who loved the ones who lived
Their lives for you alone

Wonderful, merciful Savior
Precious redeemer and friend
Who would have thought that a Lamb could
Rescue the souls of men, Oh You rescue the souls of men

You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace our
Hearts always hunger for,
Oh our hearts always hunger for

Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have
Hopelessly lost the way,
Oh we hopelessly lost the way
(Chorus)

Almighty, Infinite Father
Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne,
Oh we're falling before Your throne
(Chorus)

More Than The Watchman (Psalm 130)
Words & Music By Marty Goetz © 1984 Singin’ In the Reign Music ASCAP
(Verse 1)
Did I leave you? Did you leave me?
One of us wandered away
But now I need you to answer my plea
Though I don’t know what I’m askin’
And I know even less what I expect you to say, but...
(Chorus)
More than the Watchman for the morning
More than the evenin’ for the dawning
I wait for you, I wait for you
(Verse 2)
By now it’s quite clear, I don’t know wrong from right
And on goodness I’m makin’ no claim
But when you are here and we struggle all night
All I know is I can’t let you go ‘til you bless me
And change my name, and...
(Chorus)
More than the Watchman for the morning
More than the evenin’ for the dawning
I wait for you, my soul waits for you
(Bridge)
I miss you so much, I don’t know what to do
Don’t you know that I love you, must I show you too
Here is my mind, for you to read
All I need is your touch, only one, only one
(Verse 3)
For you’re the only one from whom I need
Forgiveness just one more time
You’re the only one who had to bleed
For my lack of understanding, take me back
Take my hand in your way so sublime, for...
(Chorus)
More than the Watchman for the morning
More than the evenin’ for the dawning
I’m blinkin at the sun, I’m starin’ at the moon!
I wait for you, please come for me soon!
Ruth’s Song (Where You Go I Will Go)
Words & Music by Marty Goetz & Misha
© 2017 Singin’ in the Reign Music/Misha Goetz Music ASCAP
(Verse 1)
All my life, I have wondered
Wondered where I might belong
Feeling lost, like a stranger
Wandering far all on my own
(Verse 2)
Without a home. Without a people
Without a hope, without a prayer
Without a way, that I could follow
Then I turned, and you were there
(Chorus)
Where you go, I will go
Where you stay, I will stay forever
Where you lead, I will follow
So I can know the one you know
(Verse 3)
Under his wings, you found a shelter
You have no fear, you have no shame
And when you call, he seems to answer
He even seems to know your name
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Then somehow should I find his favor
I won’t look back on all I’ve known
Your people then will be my people
And Your God my God alone
(Chorus)
Where you go, I will go
And you know I will never leave you
Not even death, will ever part us
Now that I know the one you know
I will go now, where you go
No Sacrifice
Words & Music by Jason Upton
© 2001 Key of David Music BMI
(Verse 1)
To you I give my life,
not just the parts I want to
To you I sacrifice,
these dreams that I hold on to
(Chorus)
Your thoughts are higher than mine
Your words are deeper than mine
Your love is stronger than mine
This is no sacrifice
Here's my life
(Verse 2)
To you I give the gifts
Your love has given me
How can I hoard the treasures
that you've designed for free?
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
To you I give my future
As long as it may last
To you I give my present
To you I give my past
(Chorus)
A Father’s Song (For Misha)
Words & Music by Marty Goetz
© 2017 Singin’ in the Reign Music ASCAP
Since the day that you were born and I became your daddy
I hoped someday to write for you a song…
And tho’ you know I love you so that song was never written
And in a moment all these many years have come and gone
So day by day I stood amazed at the girl you were becoming
So full of life, so sweet, so strong, so smart…
And your dear ole’ dad he never had one single day of trouble
With a child who was a joy right from the start…
Still I wish I were a Daddy who could ‘dance with Cinderella’
And I pray somehow you know--- ‘I hope you dance!’
For a father finds his pleasure in his baby’s laughin’ eyes
And in her playful cries, when she’s kissed by butterflies
Every father wants to be a hero to his daughter
He’ll do anything to show her that he cares
But often best that he can do is put some food upon her table
Tuck her in and help her say her prayers…
And somehow now you stand before me such a beautiful young woman
But still inside my heart there is a fear…
That I never found a way to praise the ‘bestest daughter ever!’
(So) though I know I’m overdue, I wrote this song for you…
Your hand today I give away to the one you’ll call your husband
He’s a good man and I know he’ll love you well
(Oh) But more than that I give you to your ‘Daddy who’s in Heaven’
For He’s the one you’re trusting, on this day you say, “I do.”
And one thing I’m certain of,
Only He could have more love…
Than this Daddy has…for you.
House At Pooh Corner
Words & Music by Kenny Loggins

Christopher Robin and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too soon
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I can't seem to find my way back to the wood
So help me if you can I've got to get
Back to the house at Pooh corner by one
You'd be surprised there's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh
Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He came to me asking help and advice
And from here no one knows where he goes
So I sent him to ask of the owl if he's there
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear
So help me If you can I've got to get
Back to the house at Pooh corner by one
You'd be surprised there's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin
Back to the ways of Pooh
We Being Many
Romans 12:5
Words & Music by Marty Goetz
© 1984 Singin’ In the Reign Music ASCAP
And we being many are one body in Christ, in Christ
And everyone members of one another
Loving each other, with God as our Father
Who loves us as a mother loves her newborn child
We are His Bride, taken from His side
When blood and water fell from the broken heart of Israel
See the Lord provide the precious Lamb who died
The great “I Am” who cried “Eli, Eli, Lama Azavtani,
Abba, El Shaddai, to God I give my life”
(In Harmony)
And we being many are one body in Messiah
And everyone members of one another
Loving each other, with God as our Father
Who loves us as a mother loves her newborn child
(Both verses sung together)
We are His Bride, taken from His side
When blood and water fell from the broken heart of Israel
See the Lord provide the precious Lamb who died
The great “I Am”” who cried “Eli, Eli, Lama Azavtani,
Abba, El Shaddai, to God I give my life”
And we being many are one body in Christ, in Christ
And everyone members of one another
Loving each other, with God as our Father
Who loves us as a mother loves her newborn child
Who loves us as a mother loves her newborn child
